![]() My apology for not being able to sign in for few days, because I was in Belfast United Kingdom to attend Belfast Model United Nations conference 2015 to discuss about ?How do we Combat Threats to Food Security in Asia and Africa While Ensuring Economic Growth?? We manage to come up with the following resolution. Recognizing the need of nations threatened by climate change and natural disaster for increased production of essential food sources, and the serious issues of food security in Asia and Africa, Recognizing the desire of states to ensure that tradition and culture is maintained with the expansion of a self-sufficient agricultural industry, Emphasizing the importance of State Sovereignty but also recognizing the importance of International Co-operation, Emphasizing The importance of improved centralized-management, and more capital-intensive industry practices, for increased yield of new agricultural business in developing and under-developed nations, Proposes the formation of a new organization, that would be initially dubbed the Organization-for-Sustainable-Agricultural-Management (O.S.A.M) Invites all member states to support the United Nations in forming O.S.A.M, this organization would be dedicated to identifying, and managing the development of: Promising projects for sustainable agriculture and food production in Africa and Asia, Firms based in developing economies that show organizational capabilities for undertaking identified projects, Aquaponic (system combining Aquaculture and hydroponic) where animals and plants create a symbiotic and self-sufficient production of fish and vegetables Entomophagy, which is the human consumption of insects, characterized by significant protein content Emphasizes that O.S.A.M. would be responsible for the distribution of funding and for providing consultancy to firms that show capabilities of industrializing their nations agricultural production with green technologies Reaffirms that locations selected for food production should not require development that would pose ecological risk Further Proposes that O.S.A.M. should be responsible for the delegation of subsidies and rewards to local firms that follow sustainable agricultural practices with minimal food wastage by founding an office in each state that it operates within Encourages that all member states endorse the formation of the O.S.A.M. and contribute to its completion by advertising opportunity for experienced professionals in their respective countries Further Emphasizes that the experienced human capital responsible for initiating O.S.A.M. should be provided by all member states, with donation of expertise from each state being proportional to the G.D.P. of the state Proposes a new program for the training of corporate leaders responsible for firms approved by the O.S.A.M., this training program would ensure that the management of each firm is mindful of local ecology and that it is, in no way, threatening the traditional culture of a local population, and follows the law of its locality and could be funded by U.N.E.S.C.O to ensure that valuable traditions and new green agricultural practices are followed Encourages a charter through UNDP as UN Office in low income countries which would hold statistics to the amount of products supplied by countries in order to help access to the amount of products supplied and demanded from developing countries to developed countries at a fair price, countries with a surplus higher than their consumption's can sell the surplus to World Bank at a fair price, the amount sold can be bought by developed countries or allocated as food aid to developing countries in need, furthermore a section for non-used seeds would be introduced internationally if they meet food quality standards Further proposes that the UNDP office to be created by the previous clause be permitted to trade patented food produced globally for purposes of providing necessary food only in the case of emergency requirement Further encourages all Member State to ensure the protection of nomadic and traditional lands by registering them in the UNESCO world cultural landscapes in order to prevent multinational enterprises to buy ancient lands (Chinese enterprises in Africa, Benetton in Argentina and Bolivia) Further calls for a consideration of removing seed patents to allow farmers around the world wider access to efficient technology as the patenting system encourages poverty by forbidding the reuse of seeds Encourages all member states to priorities gender equality and women?s empowerment in particular social inclusion and equal access of women to economic opportunities and resources in the rural areas, to significantly reduce the number of people suffering from hunger Proposes a ?2040 agenda For OneHungerfree World? including concrete measures and a Practice Guide on sustainable agriculture in a changing climate situation Suggests the training of women through local initiatives and improving attitudes towards women in agricultural employment Suggest creating a unique market for seeds, where speculation is forbidden and the sale rates will be determined by the WFP Promotes infrastructure to create green energy with solar panel, wind turbines and hydro turbines. The priority will be to build this infrastructure in Asia and Africa Further Encourages member states in Africa and Asia to co-operate with O.S.A.M. in circumstances where a suitable site for new agricultural production is present, with appropriate business leaders, has been identified and approved for funding Urges all Member States, especially developed countries, to significantly reduce food waste and concrete national measures against food wastage such as the selling of fruit and vegetable surplus at a lower price should be encouraged Suggests the creation of a new department to the Human?s Right international court specialized on this issues. , this court can judge industries and irresponsible behavior and creates a long-term system to create trust and to protect our common good, the earth. Invites states to develop a social policy to fund farmers in order for them to be able to invest in new technology to produce more and recommends to be supported by farmers unions and other relevant organizations. |
